Professions and Occupations - As enacted, decreases from 18 to 16, the minimum age an individual must be to apply for a license to be a bid caller auctioneer. - Amends TCA Title 62, Chapter 19.

HB 1982 lowers the minimum age to become a licensed bid caller auctioneer in Tennessee from 18 to 16 years old. This change directly affects 16- to 17-year-olds seeking to work in auctioneering by allowing them to apply for a license earlier. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 62, Chapter 19, specifically updating Section 62-19-111(a)(1)(A) to replace "eighteen (18)" with "sixteen (16)". The law would take effect upon becoming law, with no specified implementation details beyond the age adjustment.
